How to locate the Path of the current project directory in Java (IDE)?

by

Two ways

System.getProperty("user.dir");

or this

File currentDirFile = new File(".");
String helper = currentDirFile.getAbsolutePath();
String currentDir = helper.substring(0, helper.length() - currentDirFile.getCanonicalPath().length());//this line may need a try-catch block

The idea is to get the current folder with “.”, and then fetch the absolute position to it and remove the filename from it, so from something like 

/home/shark/eclipse/workspace/project/src/com/package/name/bin/Class.class

when you remove Class.class you’d get

/home/shark/eclipse/workspace/project/src/com/package/name/bin/

which is kinda what you want.
